* A MightyMouse cartoon with Pearl Pureheart and Oil Can Harry apparently ends on a cliffhanger and an iris out. The narrator calls out "WAIT!", causing the iris out to suddenly stop on Mighty Mouse in flight. The narrator pleads, "Gosh, we can't wait till next week. Please show us what happens now. Won't you?" The iris opens back up and the cartoon resumes to conclusion.

A common variation is for the iris to almost close, then pop back open a little either to continue the cartoon or for one last gag before the iris finally closes altogether. A common [[BreakingTheFourthWall fourth-wall breaking]] variation on this variation is for a character to physically grab the closing iris, sometimes pushing it to prevent the scene from ending, other times stretching it open to rant or to step through into the blacked-out screen.

* The best-known examples of IrisOut can be seen in various [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Warner Bros. cartoons]]. which were already {{subvert|edTrope}}ing the {{trope}} in the 1930s. One famous example is in many of BobClampett's cartoons, in which he created a vocal "Beeo-woop!" sound effect to accompany the iris out at the end.

** In Season 1, Episode 5, the iris closes on Mio, who's just collapsed from learning that she has to fill in for Yui, who's ruined her voice for a few days from too much practice. Another iris opens on Yui, who tells us they have 3 days until the school festival...

** In Episode 12, a heart-shaped iris closes on Yui, who's just declared her love of light music.
** In Season 2, Episode 5, there's an iris for each of the five members, and a flower appears on each iris as they close.
